Abstract: A vacuum assembly for clearing a user's nasal passage includes a housing that may be positioned proximate a user. A pump is coupled to the housing. A medication reservoir is coupled to the pump. The medication reservoir is operationally coupled to the pump. A port is coupled to the housing. The port is operationally coupled to an inlet of the pump. An actuator is coupled to the housing. The actuator actuates the pump. A control is coupled to the housing. The control adjusts a pressure of the pump. A meter is coupled to the housing. The meter displays a pressure of the pump. A tube is operationally coupled to the port. A canister is operationally coupled to the tube. A tip is operationally coupled to the tube. The tip is selectively inserted into the user's nasal passage so the user's nasal passage is cleared.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an offshore access system that includes a support frame designed to be supported by grating positioned above horizontal structural members of the offshore structure. A support sleeve is attached to the support frame. Within the support sleeve there is included a vertically slidable and rotatable post. A mobile works platform is attached to a lower end of the vertically slidable and rotatable post. The work platform has a U-shaped configuration in one embodiment to provide maximum access to vertical structural members.

Abstract: Apparatus for preventing re-growth of marine fouling on offshore marine structures comprises one or more flexible, multi-component collars adapted to surround a submerged structural support member of the marine structure. The apparatus is "powered" by the utilization of ocean forces in the form of waves, swells, tides and currents, whereby marine growth is prevented from re-establishing one the structural support member by virtue of the reciprocating motion of the apparatus about the member.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing marine growth from offshore marine structures, said apparatus comprising flexible multi-component floating rings and submerged rings being adapted to surround a structural support member of the offshore marine structure, the apparatus being powered by the utilization of ocean forces in the form of waves, swells, tides and currents so that marine growth is removed from the structural support member by means of the reciprocating motion of the apparatus about the structural support member.
